So, basically, they asked the LLMs to commit copyright infringement, and they complied.
I'm shocked.
I posted it to counter the convenient sentiment that "it's nigh impossible to get exact [GPL] code from an LLM". Also, the prompt engineering was only there to *increase* the accuracy percentage. In short, the paper focuses on recoverability of input. That's way more tight than the plagiarism concern. If you just naively post the first sentence of any HP chapter and ask for "a continuation" (not "the continuation") you may get results that already cross the thresholds for plagiarism. $0.02
